Achieving Grandmaster Artisan Times 7

Hello everyone! I hope you all had fun on Labor's Day. I sure did!
I ate hamburgers and corn on the cob and then had ice cream for dessert.
Nom nom nom.

But, I have great wizzy news that I wanted to let you all know about.
Take a look at the pictures that I have posted below.
Do you notice something in common that all of those pictures have??? ;)

YES! I'm quite pleased to let you all know that all 7 wizards of mine,
one from EACH Ravenwood school, are now
Grandmaster Artisans!

This was quite a task, I'm telling you.
At the very beginning of this journey, I was dismayed at the thought
of turning all of my seven wizards into GMAs.
I had felt that it was nearly impossible to do this.

But, with much persistence and patience, I made this goal of mine a success!

The plants I mentioned up above are my favorites.
And they will provide you with all of the rare reagents
that you will need for your crafting quests.

But, if you can't afford the crown plants, that's alright.
There are other non-crown plants that could also help you.

#3: FARMING IS A CHORE, BUT HAS TO BE DONE

REAGENTS OR BUST!

Now, if you want to farm for gold so you can buy reagents from the bazaar,

Halfang Bristlecrown in Vestrilund, Wintertusk is the best farming spot.

That's the easy part.

But, farming for reagents is a different story.

Here's the best spots for Reagent Farming:

#1: Golden Pearls

The Pearls from the Portico. It also can be found in Grotto and Stormriven Hall.

But, believe me, the Portico is the BEST spot for Golden Pearl farming.

#2: Sunstones

The Bosses in Chancel, Trial of the Sphere and the 5 Bosses of Stormriven Hall.

#3: Diamonds

Dropped from Ore which is found everywhere.

But my favorite place is Dragonspyre.

#4: Black Pearls

Black Lotus which is found mostly in Mooshu and Vestrilund, Wintertusk.
But, my favorite place is Ancient Burial Grounds, Yoshitito Temple, Mooshu.

#5: Nightshade

Dropped from Deep Mushrooms

which is found everywhere in Mooshu.

#6: Sandstones

Dropped from Stone Blocks which is found everywhere
especially in Krokotopia and Dragonspyre.
Bosses do drop Sandstone everywhere.
But, I personally prefer the bosses in Chancel.

#7: Frost Flowers

Everywhere in Wintertusk.

Also in front of Herkir's cave

on the lake in Mirkholm Keep.

#8: Scrap Iron

Everywhere in Marleybone.

But my favorite place is Knights Court, Marleybone.

#9: Black Lotus

Everywhere in Mooshu.

But I really do love farming for this item in Ancient Burial Grounds.

#10: Blood Moss

Dropped from Red Mandrakes which can be found in Nightside, Sunken City
and the rest of Wizard City.

You also can find this in the Floating Land, Celestia.

*********************************************************************

#4: FILL UP YOUR SHARED BANK

A SUREFIRE WAY TO REDUCE HEADACHES

The best way of knowing of how much of each reagents you have is to simply...
PUT THEM IN THE SHARED BANK!

Trust me, this is the best way to do it.
Then any of your wizard can just pull whatever it needs
for its crafting from the shared bank. Believe me it's so much easier
than searching all of your wizards' backpacks and having to tally them all up.
Let Wizard101 do the job for you LOL.

*********************************************************************

#5: TRANSMUTE OR NOT TO TRANSMUTE

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SURPLUS REAGENTS

Okay, personally I do NOT believe in Transmuting.
Why? It wastes my reagents and just makes me work harder
to recollect everything all over again..
I'm lazy that way lol.

I also personally think it's EASIER to shop then farm for gold
than to transmute then farm for reagents all over again.
But, to each their own. And honestly I'm a girl.
I do like to SHOP!

But, I know there are people out there who really are not that patient
either with farming or shopping at the Bazaar.
And frankly, they just want to get it over with.
I don't blame them really.

For those, do transmute the reagents you need.
There are many Recipe Vendors all over the spiral
that you can purchase recipes from.
My favorite Recipe Vendor though is Avery Templeton in Base Camp, Celestia.
He's a one-stop recipe vendor who has EVERYTHING you need which I LOVE.

#6: TRANSPORT STONES ARE YOUR FREE TAXI CAB RIDES

POOF, POOF, POOF!

I cannot repeat and stress this enough. USE TRANSPORT STONES.
Reagents are usually near the stones.
So it is logical to use Transport Stones as your taxis
than walking or flying or riding and wasting time.
Every time you exhaust resources in that area, change realms.

For example: I go to Ancient Burial Grounds.
I use all three Transport Stones to go POOF, POOF, POOF
as I collect Black Lotus near each transport.

When I finish collecting from all three transport stones,
I change realms and then do it all over again.

I don't even explore the rest of the area
since it'll just consume your time.
This is such an useful tool which will save you so much time
in collecting reagents

*********************************************************************

Here's the total of all reagents you will need to reach Grandmaster Artisan.
This way you can prepare ahead of time to collect everything to be ready
without rushing or any hassle.

And for the school robeswhich varies by school obviously,therefore the recipes varies:

If you are Balance, add-
12 Locust Swarm TCs
28 Onyx
24 Bone

If you are Death, add-
12 Banshee TCs
28 Amethyst
24 Bronze Gear

If you are Fire, add-
12 Sunbird TCs
28 Onyx
24 Leather Straps

If you are Storm, add-
12 Shark TCs
28 Jade
24 Leather Straps

If you are Myth, add-
12 Cyclops TCs
28 Ruby
24 Ectoplasms

If you are Life, add-
12 Nature's Wrath TCs
28 Ruby
24 Ectoplasm

If you are Ice, add-
12 Evil Snowman TCs
28 Amethyst
24 Spider Silk

***************************************************************8

I hope that my tips have helped you with the future success
of making your wizards Grandmaster Artisan
just like I did.

Yes, it will be an arduous journey going from
Novice Artisan to Grandmaster Artisan.
But, once you succeed, you will be extremely thankful
that you followed through with your goal and completed it!
Trust me, you will be.

After all, if I could turn SEVEN wizards into Grandmaster Artisans,
you sure could do the same. :D
